<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 2294566, member: 73266&quot;]I have read several threads lately,&nbsp; where several members have commented that since the mint mark isn&#039;t punched into the working dies anymore,&nbsp; there cannot be a doubled mint mark. Instead of calling them out on someone else&#039;s thread, I wanted to start this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>In all actuality, there were no doubled die mint marks during the time that the mint mark was punched into the die after the hubbing process. There were what are referred to as RPMs though.</p><p><br /></p><p>After the mint abandoned the practice of punching the individual marks into the working die and instead were a part of the devices on the master die, then there can be doubled dies or doubled mint marks, the same as all the other details or devices on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you consider that doubled dies are mostly created when a working die is struck by a working hub, or,&nbsp; a working hub struck by a master die, and the master die has the mint mark on it, then yes you can have a legitimate doubled die mint mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t wish to start an argument,&nbsp; but a friendly discussion on the subject&nbsp; would be nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
